Safety, trust & environment

At home, I have two dogs. I feed them in the morning, walk them, play with them, clean after them and give them love. With others' pets, I would treat them as if they were my pets, however, I make sure that any door or window is secured so they can't escape out of the house and make sure they're comfortable.

Information Raina S. would like to know about your pet

If there are specific instructions I need to follow to take care of your pet(s) or if your pet(s) has some sort of illness, certain conditions/special needs or separation anxiety

A typical day

I would take them on walks and play fetch for dogs. For cats, I would have them chase a string or a Lazer, any toy that cats enjoy

Pet care experience

I have been known as an animal whisperer because I am good with animals. For example, my friend's pet macaw hates people but became fond of me over time, I'm one of the only few people that she's fine with. I always seem to make animals calm and feel safe. Working with animals makes me feel good. Whenever my grandma needs someone to take care of her dog, she knows she can always rely on me; I brush her, feed her, bathe her and even trim her feet.

Raina did an excellent job. Our little Sadie was spoiled and happy!

My first time using a pet sitter and service. Raina responded to my inquiry within minutes and set up a meet and greet for the following day. Raina accepted the in house sitting for 5 days. Raina sent at least two photos every day showing Ralphie being himself which put me at ease. When I returned, the house was clean and taken care of. I'd definitely rebook with Raina again.

Raina is very responsive and sweet ! She did a great job caring for our young and energetic dog , Kobe. He can be a handful, but she handled him like a pro —taking him on walks and making sure he got plenty of playtime. She would send us photos everyday and is super quick with texting back. Thank you again for all your patience and care! Much appreciated:)
